INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) is the manufacturing approach to control the entire production process by of using computers .This integration allows individual processes to share with each other and initiate actions. Through the combination of computers‚ manufacturing can be faster and less error-prone‚ although the main benefit is the capability to create automated manufacturing processes.U.Rembold‚ B.O.Nnaji and A.Storr (1993) states that the manufacturing industries
